Hightower credits the run on a switch his shooting mechanics, launching his shot on a higher trajectory.
“I’m shooting the ball about three or four feet higher than I was at the beginning of the season,” he said. “I changed and started shooting it higher because the shots have a better chance of going in if it’s shot high.”
